Have you listened to this new music called Fusion Jazz. I think you may like it.

Yea I get it. I just find a lot of his music generic and lacking any kind personal touch. Layla and Tears in Heaven to stand out. He is a great instrumentalist though don't get me wrong on that. No Hendrix though. Never in a million years.

Yeah you see I think we maybe looking for different things in music...

Your criticism of pet sounds as being too tight and having too many harmonies is absolutely why I love it. It showcases brilliantly written and honed music. That’s where real talent lies for me! When it becomes too loose I get bored and think it’s poor song writing and often descends into ego driven showing off...

As for Hendrix v clapton, I prefer Hendrix’s own music too, I don’t think there’s much in it as players though and I’d probably take Clapton first as a session musician...

Yeah

Hard disagree with the Kinks. They pretty much pioneered that type of guitar distortion in their early days.

Well I'd say most of the bands I listed were closer to trying to make their own blues and R&B than ripping off anything. If any of them were acting like they invented the style completely it's news to me.

I agree that the Kinks did a much better job of bringing some excitement to it with those power chord riffs and awesome guitar sound and that influenced so many things after it.

It's a common cliche in jazz circles that a musician has to tell a story with their notes. And Hendrix is a classic example of an instrumentalist that can do this. Axis Bold As Love (the song) is a perfect example. He really makes the guitar sing. It personifies the grandeur and deity-like power of the lyrics in that song.

I guess I'll have to give him another chance but I honestly don't think he's for me.

My pet peeve is when people always say that an artist (Kanye, Beyonce, etc.) is a no-talent hack when it's obvious that they have a lot of talent. It's just that you're not into their stuff. BUT, having said that, that's pretty much exactly how I feel about Kendrick. Between his recorded output and his live performances I've never really been into anything I've heard him do and his popularity leaves me scratching my head. I wish I could hear what you do in his music.

Neat! You should have responded with a “do you even zookeep, bro?” I submit myself to chastisement. Although I coulda sworn I remember seeing a documentary or BTS thingy where the humans complained about the intense smell. That coulda been more that there were like hundreds of thousands of them all in one area....

Herds of animals tend to leave A LOT of shit around... Fun fact penguins have hundreds of teeth going down their throats! It helps rip the fish apart as the swallow! Hardcore little bastards for being so damned cute.

Yeah, The Rolling Stones didn’t steal anything. They were definitely influenced and indebted to the great American blues artists that proceeded them but unlike Elvis and other white musicians they were super open about there musical influences and spoke of it often. The Rolling Stones were a gateway for many to the great blues legends. Elvis stole black music and pretended like he invented it The Rolling Stones were huge fan boys that bugged out getting to share a stage with Buddy Guy and Muddy Waters in Chicago. Sorry but I don’t feel like “stole” is the right word.
